Email v/s postal letters to contact your Filipina penpal
Filipina penpals with email are now 95% of the NEW Filipina ladies
we are listing.  Since our advertising has changed to internet only,
almost all of the Filipina penpals signing up with us have email. In
the beginning we received a lot of applications from Filipina
without email.  All that has changed now.  We still get the
occasional mail in application from a Filipina with only a home
address, but it does not happen often.

I think it is great that Filipina penpals with email are signing up. But
I miss all of those Asian ladies that cannot make it to the internet
cafe. Trying to sign up Filipina penpals through the standard mail
in application is difficult. Some weeks you do not get any
applications. Guys also seem to prefer sending email to Filipina
ladies.  I still believe the best from of communication is postal mail.
Filipina penpals will receive your postal letters 99% of the time,
while email is more unreliable. Many Philippine ladies let their
email accounts laps because they do not get back to the cafe.
Somtimes they just cannot afford to go back. Also, consider your
first impression.  Do you want it to be an electronic message or a
hand written letter?  She will appreciate having something to show
family and friends.  I have had so many emails from guy members
saying that the Filipina lady of their dreams is not responding to
email.  They want me to do something about it.  When I ask if he
sent a postal letter 99 % of the time the answer is no.  I feel like I
am beating a dead horse sometimes. If you are not willing to pay a
$1 to send a letter air mail then how will you ever afford the trip to
go see her?  Instant communication may be instant for a guy in
the USA, but to a Filipina she might get your postal letter quicker.
Just something to chew on!

I still miss that feeling I use to have whenever I would see one of
Melinda's letters in my mail box. When we were penpals during
1997 and 1998, receiving one of her letters from the Philippines
would put me in the greatest mood for days. To know that she
took the time to sit down and write "me" one of her poetic letters.
It made me feel good about myself. This beautiful Filipina lady from 10,000 miles actually loved me.  Her letters expressed
her love for me more and more with each passing month. I cannot fully explain it, but there is something about a written
letter that touches a person unlike any email. Guys, please send some postal letters to the Filipina ladies.  Also, if you
pass on a lady just because she does not have email it is a mistake!  Having said this, we each make our own choices
and I wish you the best.
